(Reuters) - Rangers picked the perfect time to record their first win over Spanish opposition in Spain on Thursday after the Scottish side stunned Real Betis 3-2 in Seville and snatched the top spot in their Europa League group, booking a place in the round of 16.

Returning to the city where they lost in the final of the same competition in 2022, Rangers handed Betis their first home defeat in all competitions this season as new manager Philippe Clement's unbeaten run climbed to 13 games.
